Shared Experiences, Shared Responsibility, Shared Success

The Office of Information Technology is taking steps to establish a five-year strategic plan that supports the goals of the Institute and sets direction for IT investments and priorities. This effort will address opportunities to strengthen coordination of activities within IT and create a standard of excellence around those activities.

The plan will align IT efforts around a shared vision. This shared vision will reflect the strategic goals of the Institute and address the needs of Georgia Tech students, faculty, researchers, and staff.
